Defends the Commerce Bill.

SENATOR CULLOM THINKS THE MEASURE WILL WORK
IT'S WAY OUT ALL RIGHT.
Senator Cullom, in letter to friend in this
city, says he thinks the interstate commerce law
will work its way out all right. he does not ap-
prehend collapse for it. In the first place the
the law as it passed was not just he desired it.
but it was the best that could be done. He fore
saw that its defects would become apparent as
soon as 1t was put in operation, and this would
lead to their correction. BY the time Congress
meets 1t will be well understood what corrections
are needed and they Will be made. He expects the
bill ultimately to effect all the good its friends de-
sired and looked for from it.
